They will do what they like. But when they protest about the closing of the public schools, and the schools don't close? Trump electorate, which is not in their bubble, will notice the now-empty outrage, and vote to reelect. It's probably part of Trump's game, because he's playing this like it's game theory.

Not just my idea, here's Scott Adams, Democrat who noticed Trump's persuasion power. This paragraph will make you very angry, but...

Quote:
You’re probably seeing the best persuasion you will ever see from a new president. Instead of dribbling out one headline at a time, so the vultures and critics can focus their fire, Trump has flooded the playing field. You don’t know where to aim your outrage. He’s creating so many opportunities for disagreement that it’s mentally exhausting. Literally. He’s wearing down the critics, replacing their specific complaints with entire encyclopedias of complaints. And when Trump has created a hundred reasons to complain, do you know what impression will be left with the public?

He sure got a lot done.

Even if you don’t like it.

In only a few days, Trump has made us question what-the-hell every other president was doing during their first weeks in office. Were they even trying?
